well i had my lapband done on feb. 17, 2005 at the molding clinic in Tijuana, it was the best expereince one could have. i am from california and i was very nervous about the procedure being done so far from home, but when the patient cooridnator(andres betencourt) made contact with me he made me feel like he knew me for years. i asked for references and they were given to me with no hesitation. the molding clinic is a very ,very clean hospital, and the doctors are very profesional and have an excellant bedside manner. dr. huacuz is the surgeon at the molding clinic. they actually have a team of doctors that work on each patient, everyone of them with their own specialty. my surgery was about 60-mins. long and i had no problems, i was up walking six hours after my surgery. the staff also made my husband feel very welcome at the moldin clinic, and let him stay in the room with me for my one overnight stay. i then recovered in a five star hotel in tijuana, who what have thought they had those? they really do. the next after noon,my husband and i went shoping for about three hours, i was a bit tired after that. they also have a nutrition doctor, dr. cesar romero that came to our hotel to speak with my husband and i regarding my nutrition journey with the band, he was very pleasant and explained things very thourough. i am home now and the only problem i had was the gas pain, which every doctor has to use to get to your stomach with the laperoscopy tools. i would reccomened the molding clinic to anyone interested in the lap-band with great confidience that you will be very happy with their service. i encourage you to visit thier websit - www.moldingclinic.com.mx

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
